Best family hotel in Las Vegas
I've stayed at lots of Las Vegas hotels, and Hawthorn Suites is where we always return to. No casino, no smoking, it's equally great for families or business. Their included hot breakfast buffet is convenient, tasty and well-tended (they don't run out of food, even if you arrive 5 minutes before it's shut down). The pool is clean, the rooms are spacious, and will easily accomodate a family in their 2-bedroom, 2-bath suites, at a price that doesn't break the bank. You need to plan ahead and get reservations, because this property is no longer a secret. It is often full if there is anything going on convention-wise in the city. The location is excellent (right behind the San Remo and the Tropicana, one longish block to the strip)--you have the benefit of walking to the strip, but not the busyness and traffic. High-speed Internet connection is handy to keep up with your email, etc.
